Biography
Francisco Correia has a particular interest in highlighting the transactional systems that structure everyday life. Economy, affection, and extinction (both individual and collective) are ideas often extrapolated into the realm of fantasy, creating micro-narratives that operate on the boundary between reality and fiction.
Through diverse bodies of work, the narrative is developed in response to the specific contexts and architectures in which the works are created and presented. For Francisco Correia, this is a central point of his practice: the equivalence between exhibition-making and storytelling.
